Moon dust, not as strange as hoped, proves actually we have never been there

Sandweiss's team took 15 grams of "lunar soil" from the Apollo missions and accelerated the grains past a powerful magnet. Any strangelets present would curve less in the magnetic field than normal matter - but none was observed (www.arxiv.org/abs/0903.5055). "If AMS-01 had been a real event, we would have found it," says Sandweiss.

BAD HARDWARE: Is it actually a proof that hypothetical strangelets doesn't exist, or more likely a simple proof we have never been on that "magnetized Moon" using Lunar Module?
